After sitting down and taking a good look at some of the new features that Dead or Alive 5 will contain, the details of which can be seen here, we had a chance to sit down and speak with Yosuke Hayashi and Yohei Shimbori from Team Ninja. While we may not have any actual gameplay footage of the game shown below, we do have the answers to some of your most pertinent questions, including why the team chose to switch to a four-point hold system as well as how Team Ninja thought of including such action packed stages for players to battle it out on.

Of course, we couldn’t help but asking if we may see some brand new characters entering the roster and the games overall “fan service” element as well. Don’t take my word for it however, see how these two have answered our questions in the full interview below.
